Biologics and Small Molecules for Inflammatory Nail Disorders: A Narrative Review.

Indian Dermatol Online J

December 2024

Department of Dermatology, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, NY, USA.

Background: Inflammatory dermatological conditions, including psoriasis, lichen planus, eczema, and alopecia areata, are frequently accompanied by nail findings and can have a significant impact on quality of life. Biologic and small-molecule medications have been approved over the past several decades in treating patients with these inflammatory nail disorders. They may be used in conjunction with longstanding mainstays of treatment (topical and intralesional corticosteroids, topical vitamin D3 analogs).

Objective: Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are rare autoimmune diseases that primarily affect striated muscles; skin, joints, and lungs may be involved with different degrees of severity. Traditional treatment relies on high-dose glucocorticoids and conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.

Methods: A growing amount of evidence is demonstrating the potential role of novel treatments in the management of IIM.

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory skin disease, with increasing prevalence; however, few studies have reported real-world prescription patterns and healthcare burden.

Objectives: This retrospective, observational cohort study used statutory health insurance claims data (January 2014-December 2019) to estimate prevalence/incidence of moderate-to-severe psoriasis in Germany. Patient characteristics, treatment patterns/compliance, and healthcare resource utilization (HCRU)/costs were evaluated, focusing on apremilast and anti-interleukin (IL), and anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) biologics.

Palmoplantar pustular psoriasis (PPPP), or palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP), is a type of psoriasis that affects the skin on the palms and soles. It is characterised by dermatosis and small sterile pustules and is considered a significant burden on patients' quality of life, as there is currently no gold standard treatment or cure. This network meta-analysis (NMA) compares the efficacy and safety of biologic and non-biologic medications for PPPP and PPP.

Apremilast Cocrystals with Phenolic Coformers.

Molecules

December 2024

Department of Solid State Chemistry, University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague, Technicka 5, 16628 Prague, Czech Republic.

Apremilast (APR) is an anti-inflammatory drug commonly used in the treatment of psoriasis. In efforts to enhance its solubility, several cocrystals with similar structural features have been developed. This study investigates the cocrystallization of APR with four phenolic-type coformers: phenol, catechol, pyrogallol, and hydroxyquinol.
